Be. it kiwwnf bi1-t1, ALEXANDER D.. Gaeta.

acitizenofthe United States, resident f S2111 JOSG, inthe-f Countyf'. Salite Clelia., and State of California, have invented cerv minnen. and useful Iinproiiemants in Smoking Devices, of which the following is a specification.V f

The present invention relates to that class of smoking devices wherein the smoke of the f burningv tobaccoA is passed through a. liquid i in its journey to the smokers mouth.-

Itis one object of the invention tol provide a device of the character indicated in l which a common drinking glass or similar receptacle is used as the liquid containing part of the device.

It is another object of the invention to provide a device of the character indicated so formed andl constructed 'as to permit certain essential portions thereof to be readily packed into small compass to permit carrying .in a purse or bag, and quickly mountable on a glass or similar receptacle when desired for use.

tol provide a. device of thefcharacter indicatedthat may be removably mounted on a glass or similar receptacle in such a manner im as to secure an airtight joint between the two. I Finally, it is anobject to provide a device of the character indicated that is simple in 'form and construction, economical to manu-y facture, quickly and easily mountable in position on a receptacle or removable therefrom, and highly efficient in its practical application.

In the drawing Figure l is a plan view of the device, a portion of the smoking tube being broken i away- Figure 2 is a section on line 2 2 Figure 1. Figure 3 is a detail section through a portion of the device; showinganother embodir ment of the invention.

' Referring more particularly tothe drawing, l is an annular disc provided with oppositely extending flanges 2 and 3 on its outer edge. The diameter of this disc l'is in the present case slightly less thanl the di- `ameter of the upper edge of the receptacle 4 on which it is to be placed. 1

At 5 I show a band of elastic material such as rubber securely mounted'upon the pe-V j n with a mouth-piecel. It is'still another object of the inventio-n ripara Ofrdic. .laeivrtndina diaria.; 55.

below the fiange 3, f y f- By m'eans of this constructionthlef,band 5 f may. bequckla turned. up info, thafption Shaun indette@ lines at Gyfmd i the. dissi.. l. remeras' imm. feet/.iatale .4; n Lkitse the 60 disc l tmay bepla'cedl iny position-'on recep-A tacle tand the elastic band' turned down over its upper'edge as shown, thereby secureiyhoiding the dis@ in position ,thereon and@ providing an airtight joint therebetween." l

f j )At 7 I show van upstanding annularflang'e on disc 1 arranged in axial alignment therewith Vand providing a socket- 8 cigaretteas9 maybe placed.; y, Y

At lOisshoWn 'a' depending annular flange 70 on disc lv arranged in axial alignment therewith and providing a socket ll'in which a` tube 12 lis secured. A conduit 13 connects the base ofl Socket 8` with the base of socket 11.-

An orifice 14' is in Which .a

provided in disc through which -is inserted one end of a smoking tube 15, the othei-end of the tube. being provided Y When disc 1 and the parts vcarried thereby 30, is mounted on a receptacle 4 as described, with a quantity of water in the said recep-` tacle as indicated at 17, it is ready' for use.

A cigarette 9 being set in socket g8 and lighted, the air in the upper portion of the receptacle l ispartially exhausted by the i smoker through the use of tube 15.. Sincey Vthe joint betweenv the disc l and lvreceptacle 4 is air tight the 'reduction'of lair pressure' in receptacle 4 results in air and smoke be- 90 ing drawn through thecigarette, tube 12 and water 17 to tube 15 andthence to the mouth of the smoker.

It .is obvious, of course, that the disc 1 may be made in many kshapes and may be 95..

adapted for use with tobaccoy in different forms and receptacles of different sizes and kinds. It is also clear that other means vmay c be provided for mounting the d isc upon the receptacle. It is, therefore, lto be understood that while I have herein shown and described but one specific embodiment of thev invention, changes in form, construction and method of operation may be made within thel scope ofthe appended claims. c

The flange 2. fills a twofold purpose. It not only increases .the width of the perimeter vof the disc l whereby to form a satisfactory foundation for the band 5, but it also forms in conjunction with the flange 7 and body of disc 17 an ash tray 18. This tray completely encompasses the flange 7 and socket 8 so as to catch all ashes falling from the'tobacco burning in the said socket 8.

In the partial detail section in Figure 3 it is shown that the band 5 may have a bead formed on one edge as at 19 itting into a groove 20 in the outer perimeter of disc 1. By this method of construction the band may be readily removed and replaced with a new one if so desired. i

1. A device of the character described comprising a disc, a resilient annular band carried thereby and adapted to overlap and engage the receptacle upon which the disc is placed to form an airtight joint therebetween, and tobacco holding means and smoke conduits carried by said disc. Y

2. A device of the character described comprising a Vdischaving an annular upturned flange on its outer edge to form a relatively wide perimetrical surface and a dished top surface on said disc, a resilient annular band mounted upon said perimetrical surface and adapted to overlap and engage the receptacle upon which the disc .is mounted to form an airtight joint therebetween, and tobacco holding means and smoke conduits carried by said disc.
